How are burning of fossil fuels and volcanic eruptions similar with respect to their effects on the carbon cycle?

Both add carbon to the atmosphere.

Both remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Both add carbon to the lithosphere.

Both remove carbon from the lithosphere.

What is happening at 1?

turning CO2 from the atmosphere into organic molecules

How nitrogen is "fixed" into useable form for plants...

through action of bacteria & lightning

through action of bacteria only

How does carbon in a grass plant get into a lion?

The carbon ends up in the food the lion eats.

Carbon from grass doesn't end up in a lion.

The lion breathes in carbon given out by the plant

What would happen to the nitrogen cycle if all soil bacteria died?

No nitrogen gas could be converted to a form plants can use.

All nitrogen would become nitrate permanently.

What role do decomposers play in the phosphorous cycle?

return phosphorous into the soil

release phosphorous into atmosphere

Which of the following statements is true of the phosphorus cycle?

The phosphorus cycle utilizes the processes of erosion, and weathering.

Phosphorus enters the atmosphere as phosphates.

Phosphates are used in carbohydrate and glucose storage.

The phosphorus cycle utilizes bacteria to breakdown phosphates and make them available for plants.

This is NOT a part of the phosphorus cycle.

Phosphate is incorporated into sedimentary rocks

Phosphate is absorbed from the soil by plants

Carbon is cycled on a global scale. Why does phosphorus cycling tend to occur more locally?

it primarily involves the weathering of rocks, which are mostly stationary

it only involves land animals that cannot swim across oceans to transport the nutrient

it occurs in areas where cloud formation is low, so it rarely gets trapped in water vapors

Which process moves carbon stored in fossil fuel into the atmosphere?

When fossil fuels are burned, carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

The denitrifying bacteria turns the fossil fuel into carbon dioxide gas.

Decomposers convert the fossil fuels into greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.

The fossil fuels react with the soil to produce carbonates and carbon dioxide.

What is happening in step 1?

Animals are breaking down organic molecules and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Animals are decomposing and realizing carbon into the soil.

Animals are releasing energy into the environment and storing carbon.

Animals are turning carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into organic molecules.

How nitrogen is "fixed" into useable form for plants

through action of bacteria & lightning

Which list includes abiotic factors?

tigers, hawks, snakes, and wolves

deer, grasshoppers, cows, and giraffes

grass, trees, ferns, and flowers

Which answer best defines precipitation?

water falling to the surface of the Earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow

the process of changing from a liquid to a gas, usually caused by energy from the sun

the process in which animals release water vapor

the process of changing from a gas to a liquid, such as water vapor changing into water

The main human activity that releases greenhouse gases is

using public transportation and there by reduce the affects of greenhouse gases.

a swelling on a plant root that contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria

the cycling of chemical elements through the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem

the brown smog produced when air pollutants react with sunlight

the precipitation that flows over the surface of soi

A biochemical cycle is...

The cycling of chemical elements through the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem

Can be found on the periodic table

The brown smog produced when air pollutants react with sunlight
